Community Outreach and Engagement (Tribal and Rural Focus)

The contract seeks to implement culturally appropriate outreach programs in rural and Tribal communities to enhance awareness of maternal mental health services and reduce the stigma associated with seeking care. Efforts will center on building strong local partnerships and leveraging community health initiatives that respect Traditions, languages, and beliefs unique to each population. The work requires deep community engagement, collaboration with trusted local organizations, and the development of targeted educational materials and events that meet the specific needs of underserved populations. Success will be measured by increased utilization of mental health services and meaningful shifts in community attitudes toward maternal mental wellness. This is a subcontract opportunity issued by the Health Resources and Services Administration under the Department of Health and Human Services, classified under NAICS code 813312. The solicitation was posted on June 17, 2026, with a response deadline of July 17, 2026. While no specific location or point of contact is provided, performance is expected to occur across rural and Tribal areas nationwide. The goal is to create sustainable, culturally grounded strategies that improve maternal mental health outcomes through trust-based community relationships rather than top-down interventions.
